Description

A simple and delightful treat that combines a crisp graham cracker crust with silky pistachio pudding and a light whipped topping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3.4 ounce package pistachio pudding mix
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/2 cup chopped unsalted pistachios for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Bake the crust for 8 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool on a wire rack.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk pistachio pudding mix into the milk for about 2 minutes until thick.
  5. Spread half of the whipped topping over the cooled crust.
  6. Pour the pistachio pudding mixture over the whipped topping and level gently.
  7. Add the remaining whipped topping and smooth out the top.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Before serving, sprinkle chopped pistachios on top.
